i'm okay, Larry.

Nothing yet. I just hope they are not trying to play smart because I noticed that the text message sent never brought any delivery report that it was delivered.
Let's hope that something would come up from them this month

There's an element of truth in what people have been saying about Maersk . I experienced it myself recently. I wrote d test and they got back to me few days after, 2days to be precised that i passed the test and would have to come for the 2nd stage two days after.
On that same day that i was supposed to go for the test they called me very early like 7.20am informing me that the test had been rescheduled and that they would get back to me later.
I was surprised to find another mail in my box the following day telling me that they were sorry and that they could not process my application any further because I didn't pass the test.{This is the same company that sent me text that I passed and still called me}
I later mailed them and they never bothered to mail me back . I went further to call them and they said they were very sorry about the whole thing ,that the mistake was from the person that sent d SMS and that it was a mix-up.
What can u then say about that?
I just believe that what'l be 'l be and God 'l surely make a way for us all and give us the very best.
